Library

The overview of every Type you can reach, with counts and recent capsules.

The Library is the front door to your knowledge base. It lists every Type you can reach, how many capsules each one holds, and the most recent capsules inside them.

Use it when you want to see the shape of what you have, rather than search for one thing.

What it shows

Each Type appears with its capsule count and a preview of recent entries, so an empty Type is visibly empty rather than looking the same as a full one.

Only Types you can actually read appear. In an organization workspace that means the Library reflects your access, not everything that exists.

Filtering by project

Set a project filter and the Library narrows to Types that contain capsules in that project. The counts and previews narrow with it, so the numbers describe what you are filtered to rather than the whole workspace.

Types with guidance

A Type can carry guidance, which is the instruction an AI assistant follows when writing into it. The Library marks which Types have it, so you can see at a glance where an assistant has direction and where it is guessing.

For what guidance does and how to write it, see Types.

Types built from fields

Some Types define fields rather than free prose. Their capsules are composed from those field values instead of a written body, and the Library previews them the same way as any other Type.

If your account is restricted

If your organization has locked your account, the Library says so plainly instead of showing an empty state. An empty knowledge base and a blocked one look identical otherwise, and that is the wrong thing to leave ambiguous.
